As for the konvoi thing, tomorrow I'll come up with some choices of schedule and destinations, then we'll see if anyone bites.

I've been silently reading this thread for weeks without registering myself, before I bought my "new" 2nd hand BLM. People over here are damn friendly and wouldn't mind to share how far can their BLM go with a tank of petrol. I even found member post their BLM does >400km/RM50! That is seriously insane to me. Without borrowing a friend's BLM and dry up 2 tank of their petrol(I doubt if there is anybody willing to let me do that), with all the sohighness and without experiencing the actual mileage, I went and bought a used BLM from bank lelong with a good price.

Sorry to say, I started the fuel efficient thing again lately with all the resenting of BLM because I found my old WIRA 1.6 is more efficient than a 14 years newer car. I don't meant all that but I thought of making this information available to fellow BLMer here, as I plan to put up my journal

A journey to less petrol consumption in BLM

I've been learning and trying to improve my petrol count. Trying to squeeze up the last drop of petrol to the final destination with all the tips and tricks from this forum, hoping to show everybody a better way to improve their BLM's mileage.

Meanwhile, I've been trying the 2krpm shift up thingy as suggested by fellow members. I will put up my reading once I go and refuel my tank, and see whether that works.


I kid you not, I following smooth drive and try to change by 1.8k, but the drive by wire lagged. I already try to release pedal early, but I'm still not so use to it... just yet.

p/s: how to put the youtube video here? tried several times, but still in white color. wouldn't work.



And, believe it or not, the indicator drop 1 box at 39.8km WTF?!

I wouldn't jump in to conclusion yet. I'll give 2 tank of petrol for this method. If things doesn't go well, I'll switch back to my usual light foot 3k rpm base on my usual smooth sailing style.

Thanks and regards,

Dave

Doew anyone know where can i test drive the saga flx 1.6 around PJ?

Maybe give it a week or two for your ECU to adjust.

Is it normal? I remember eric got quite good FC with his BLM. Right now david's FC is like my 1.6.

Congratz, added.

Does anyone knows if our car comes with ATF cooler?

Juz saw this vid & feel useful 2share :
Comparing CVT with AT in a Nissan...


Sincerely hope vid wld help some new CVT owners to understand the differences in behaviour of AT & CVT GBoxes.

Added on March 27, 2012, 9:17 amIn AT models of previous gen Sagas & present BLMs/FLs, radiator serves as both engine (water coolant) cooler & GB (ATF) cooler.
Not sure tho re CVT models...

Dares,
Forgot to 'register' myself. Been hanging here for a while d

riezzien | glittering silver | FLX 1.3 (M) Std

Actually this is my wife's account, since we share pc and surf in lyn from time to time, i kinda lazy to relogin to my account.

Just thought I'd help you out.

Please do remember to keep tire pressures maintained as well.

Ah, second hand.

I do have a theory but then it would sound really absurd...

CVT, yes.

normal BLM/FL? No.

No wonder. I was wondering why suddenly this thread got so many ladies.

i sikit noob, so conclusion: what do u want us to understand from the 1.8k and 2.0k and 3.0k gear changing?

He is still polling his results.

Added on March 27, 2012, 12:12 pmMy SA just called me, he say only have 1.3 for test drive too. He ask you to try your luck at COE.

It seems the 1.6 variant is becoming a hot item. When i bought i waited only 1 week to deliver the car, now need to wait 1 month. Conversely the 1.3 got more ready stock
